My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 1268
His gentle tone made it sound like it was nothing but a normal and mundane conversation, but his eyes were laser-focused on her face, almost as if he was not going to let even her subtlest expressions escape his notice.Serenity pursed her lips and told him, "There's nothing to regret at all–it was my decision to do what I did in the first place, so I'm perfectly fine with it."Besides, even if she had told him earlier, she could still never give Lucas what he actually wanted, because the man that she truly loved was…As the thought crossed her mind, darkness flashed in her eyes.She used to love him so much in the past, but what about now? Was there any feeling left in her heart for this man?"What are you thinking about?" he asked, suddenly holding up her chin with his fingers. He hated it whenever there was that downcast look in her eyes because it made him feel like she was hiding something inside of her that he would never understand."Nothing," she replied."I want to hear

The feel of his lips on hers felt so real, yet the rest of her body felt like it was trapped in a trance.He held her chin in a tight clasp with his fingers, not allowing her to move away from him even the slightest bit. His lips felt cool against hers–they were so different even in that respect.His kiss was utterly domineering and unmistakably possessive, yet it was also tinged with the tenderness and desire that it used to have in the past.Serenity could feel her heart racing. For some reason, she now felt no desire to break free from him or even resist him at all. She slowly closed her eyes and responded to his kiss. Scenes from the past not only played out in her mind, but they also reminded her that some feelings never truly went away.It turned out that even though she kept telling herself she would forget everything, she still had not forgotten anything at all.When the kiss finally ended, Serenity opened her eyes and stared at the man in front of her."Why didn't you re

He raised his hand to gently rub the corner of her lips, gently wiping away the trace of water left from when she rinsed her mouth."But even if you really detest me," he said, "it still doesn't matter! We're husband and wife now, so it's perfectly natural for us to touch each other, right? For the sake of our kids, you'll endure it even if you're reluctant, isn't that true?"He then turned around and was prepared to walk away after finishing his sentence, almost as if he had no intention to listen to her response at all."It's getting late now," he said. "You should go to bed. I've still got some work to take care of, so I'll be in my study."But before he could take more than two steps away from her, he suddenly felt a pair of slender arms wrapping around his waist from behind."I don't detest you," she told him, burying her face against his broad back. "What happened just now was purely morning sickness, and I have no control over when I feel sick, but I know that at the very l

"Serenity," said Peter, "thank you!""But I didn't help you much at all," argued Serenity somewhat regretfully. "The main thing that helped your case was that video exposing Lynette's true intent. Besides, it was partly because of me that you were framed. If we never knew each other at all, then none of this would've happened."Serenity still wondered where that video had come from. Based on the angle of the recording, it seemed that the camera was most likely secretly installed in the car, but how did it end up in Lynette's car? And why was the video even recorded in the first place?None of this made any sense to her at the moment.Peter hastily denied, "No, no, that's not true! You've been of great help to me! If it hadn't been for you, I would've been worried to death when I was in jail!"Serenity knew, of course, that Peter was only trying to stop her from feeling guilty. She said nothing of it again after that and only helped him through the paperwork and formalities after b

Serenity gave Clara the name of the hospital before adding, "Why don't I pick you up and we'll go there together instead? I'm free now, anyway."Later, when a black car appeared at the entrance of Clara's apartment complex and she saw Serenity step out with the driver and a bodyguard by her side, Clara was even more perplexed. She turned to her friend with a confused look and asked, "These are…""Jack arranged everything," Serenity explained. "I'm married to him now, and I'm also three months pregnant."Clara's eyes grew big as saucers. With utter shock, she stared at Serenity and asked, "You… You're married and pregnant now?! With Jackson Valor?!""Yeah," answered Serenity. "Come on, let's get into the car."Clara still stared at Serenity when they settled down inside the car. She was still trying to wrap her head around what Serenity had just told her. Who would have thought that so many things could happen in just a few days?!"By the way, Clara, the trial for your case will s

But there was at least one piece of good news that day–Lisa's condition had somewhat improved, and she would be out of the ICU in two days. Soon after that, she would be able to undergo a second operation.After visiting Lisa, Serenity was taking Clara home, but halfway there, the driver suddenly stopped the car, which startled Serenity. She then quickly realized that the car had been completely surrounded by numerous other black cars.Then, a man stepped out from one of those cars and headed toward her. Her bodyguard, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, rushed out and tried to block Lucas from approaching the car door near where Serenity was seated.Lucas merely glanced at the bodyguard without any expression on his face, and moments later, his men stepped forward from behind him, and a brawl ensued. Jackson had indeed carefully selected the man he assigned to protect Serenity, but he was still helpless when fighting against so many men, and he was soon subdued.Lucas wal

But her words only drove a stake through his heart. "What about me?" he asked. "Am I… all in the past too?"Serenity turned to him and looked straight into his eyes, saying, "Yes. To me, everything that happened between us is all in the past now, so there's no need for you to keep dwelling on it any longer."He suddenly chuckled lightly and muttered, "There's no need, huh…?"His pain, his regrets, his guilt… was it all just unnecessary things to her?Just then, the car stopped right in front of the door to the mansion, and Lucas told Serenity, "Let's go. I've got something to show you."And so, Serenity followed Lucas into the mansion and then to the studio inside where he kept all his paintings, and the only thing he painted… was her when she was a little girl. There was a painting of her when they had first met in the dense forest. There was a painting of her when she had grabbed his hand in the nick of time to prevent him from falling off a cliff. There was a painting of her

The tip of her nose stung. Of course she had been moved by all the things he had done for her, but… perhaps it was just their luck that when they first met, she knew nothing about romantic love. All she knew then was friendship.And when they met each other again as adults, her heart had been conquered entirely by another person, so much so that she could no longer find any space in there to love anybody else."Yes," she answered him decisively.His eyes were full of pain, almost as if he had just been hit by lightning."How could you be so sure?" he asked her. "You only said that to make me give up on you, right?! Because you already got married to Jackson, and because you're pregnant with his child—that's why you gave me that answer, right?""No," Serenity denied. "Even if I hadn't got married to Jackson and not been pregnant, I would still give you the same answer.""Do you love him, then? Do you love Jackson?"He stared straight at her, almost as if trying to use the last en

“……” Morgan suddenly found himself unable to retort. She... wasn't wrong. “But when you play house, you can pretend to be parents with one person today and another person tomorrow. Real marriage is different; you can’t choose someone else.”Renee widened her eyes, listening intently.“The only person you can choose is me. Do you understand, Renee?” he continued.She nodded vigorously. “I understand!”“Do you really?” Morgan asked, a little skeptical. He was already fifteen, so he could grasp the concept of marriage, but she was only eight. Could she truly comprehend it?“So, in the future, I can only marry Morgan and be your bride, right? I can't be someone else's bride, right?” she asked. “I don’t want to marry other boys anyway. I like you the most, Morgan. Of course I’ll only be your bride!” she happily declared, her worries fading away.So she could be Morgan's bride when she grew up! That's great!After finishing another piece of snack, Renee thought of something. She put o

Despite her unease, she couldn’t resist when she saw the sweet desserts. She indulged herself.However, as she ate, her eyes remained fixed on Morgan, clearly still waiting for him to clarify Lucy’s claims.“You want to know if you’re a child bride, right?” Morgan began.Renee nodded.“Do you know what a child bride is?” he asked.She blinked. She had a vague idea, but not enough for her to articulate it.“To put it simply, a child bride is a girl raised by a boy's family. The girl will marry the boy when she comes of age. In the old days, some families were too poor to raise their daughters, so they would sell their daughters to become child brides for richer families,” Morgan explained.Renee blinked. “But my parents aren’t poor, and I'm raised by them, not by other people. That means I’m not a child bride, right?”“Correct, you are not,” Morgan affirmed.She breathed a sigh of relief, and a bright smile spread across her face. “I knew it! My parents would never sell me!

"Morgan!" Renee turned to Morgan, unease etched on her face."The Moon family, eh? I'll remember this," Morgan replied calmly, then lowered his head to meet Renee's anxious and confused face. "Let's go, Renee. I’ll tell you what you want to know later."He led her away holding her hand.Benson looked worried. "Miss Lucy, how could you say that?""It's the truth!" Lucy shook off her fear and spoke defiantly. "Daddy and Mommy said she’s a child bride. A child bride is a girl sold by her own parents!""But the White family is not like that. Those things only happened to daughters of poor families in the old days," Benson explained. "You really shouldn’t have said that, Miss Lucy. You shouldn’t do that again.""Why do I have to listen to you?" Lucy retorted, displeased.Benson was too ashamed to tell Lucy in front of others that the Moon family simply couldn’t afford to offend Morgan. Dealing with the White family was already a headache, and Morgan's background was even more formi

Benson and Lucy were also dumbfounded. Benson started getting anxious. He felt like things were starting to unfold in ways that he did not expect."Mr. Grimes, I..." Benson stepped forward, intending to speak to Mr. Grimes.However, Mr. Grimes moved past Benson without so much as a glance at him. He went up to Morgan and said, "Master Morgan, I apologize for the oversight!"Everyone was stunned to hear that, including the security guards who had been called over. They were secretly relieved they hadn't forcibly removed anyone yet. If they had offended someone Mr. Grimes was showing so much respect to, it would have been really bad for them!Morgan regarded Mr. Grimes with an unreadable expression. He calmly recounted the situation to Mr. Grimes.After hearing about what happened, Mr. Grimes responded, "This set of stamps was not pre-ordered. If you like it, please take it. Feel free to take anything else in the exhibition that catches your eye."This declaration shocked every

"Who are you?!" Benson exclaimed, astonished. The mysterious figure remained silent, simply looking at Morgan.Morgan calmly reiterated to Benson, "I said, wait for Mr. Grimes." He then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "I'm Morgan Wood. Please have Mr. Grimes from Lazy Cat Culture come to the Sleepy Cat Exhibition in Solaria. He should be in the area, right?"After ending the call, the person on the other end stared at the phone in disbelief.The Sleepy Cat Exhibition? What's going on?Benson, Lucy, and the staff stared at Morgan in shock, but the look in their eyes quickly turned to ridicule."Ah, a young man's naive bravado – how impudent!" Benson scoffed."Sir, please don't cause trouble," the staff member warned. "Or I'll have to call security."Morgan simply lowered his head to say to Renee, "Looks like we'll be here for a while. If you're bored, I can ask someone to walk around with you."Renee shook her head. "Morgan, what if this stamp set has really been p

Benson's words were not only meant to exert pressure on the staff, but also to inform him that they were on the same side.As expected, when the staff heard what he said, there was an instant change in his expression. He turned to Morgan and Renee and said, "I'm sorry, but it turns out this stamp set has already been pre-ordered by this customer."Morgan saw through the so-called pre-order as nothing more than an act. "When I asked you to wrap it up earlier, I didn’t hear you mention it was pre-ordered.""We forgot to mention that. Our apologies," the staff replied.Lucy, wearing a smug expression, raised her chin at Renee, causing Renee to puff out her cheeks in frustration.Benson calmly observed Morgan and Renee. The White family's White Maple Group had numerous overlapping businesses with the Moon Group. They were often competing with each other. Originally, the White Maple Group’s business activities weren't concentrated in Solaria, so even though there was competition wi

But before Morgan had even finished speaking, a girl's voice piped up, "I want this stamp set!"He turned to the voice and, upon seeing who it was, narrowed his eyes slightly. It was Lucy Moon, the girl Renee mentioned earlier. At the sight of Lucy, Renee immediately reacted like an angry little kitten. "Lucy Moon, why do you always try to take my stuff away?""Your stuff? How is this your stuff? You haven't paid yet!" Lucy shot back, her eyes fixed on Morgan.Morgan was well-known in their class, admired by many girls who claimed he was even more handsome than movie stars. If only Lucy had a big brother like that! She would be the envy of all the girls in class... no, all the girls in school!Unfortunately, her own big brother was not as good-looking.Last time, Lucy had tried to give Renee Sleepy Cat toys, asking for Morgan's email address in return. However, Renee accepted gifts from everyone but her, which infuriated Lucy."But if you want, I can give this stamp set to Re

Unlike many wealthy kids, Renee was quite restrained with her spending. She had never spent recklessly and often saved leftover money. Of course, when she wanted something beyond her budget, she would act cute and ask her Daddy or Morgan to buy it for her.Lisa was the least susceptible to her charms, so Renee didn’t dare to bother her!When they arrived at the exhibition, Renee’s eyes sparkled with excitement. There were so many adorable Sleepy Cat merchandise! They're all so cute! She wanted a lot of them, but realizing her limited budget, she knew she needed a sponsor! The best one was right beside her: Morgan!"Morgan," she said, flashing him a super bright smile.Seeing her like this, Morgan immediately knew she wanted to ask him for something. "What is it? Do you want me to buy you Sleepy Cat merchandise?""You’re so smart, Morgan! No wonder so many girls in our class like you and asked me for your phone number!" Renee praised him.As soon as she mentioned it, Morgan'

"Okay," Renee replied obediently, snuggling up to Morgan and acting cute. "Take me to the exhibition, Morgan! I know you’re the best. You’ll definitely take me, right?"Morgan pursed his lips. At 15, he was no longer a little boy. Although Renee was only 8, she was his destined wife.He had been protecting her since the day she was born. At first, he thought that he would only marry her because according to the family prophecy, she was the one most suitable for him. Over the years, however, he realized that his feelings for her ran deeper than he had initially thought.He found himself wanting to help her fulfill her wishes, and would clean up the mess when she caused trouble. Things had become different from what he had expected, but he welcomed them. He felt grateful that she was the one who was destined for him!With her by his side for the rest of his life, he would never feel lonely."Will you get into fights again?" Morgan asked."No more fighting, I promise!" Renee quickly
